Abstract

We report a systematic high-pressure study of magnetic topological semimetal Co3Sn2S2 through measurements of synchrotron x-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetization, electrical, and Hall transports combined with first-principle theoretical calculations. No evident trace of structural phase transition is detected through synchrotron x-ray diffraction over the measured pressure range of 0.2-50.9 GPa. We find that the ferromagnetism and the anomalous Hall resistivity are monotonically suppressed as increasing pressure and almost vanish around 22 GPa. The anomalous Hall conductivity varies nonmonotonically against pressure at low temperatures, involving competition between original and emergent Weyl nodes. Combined with first-principle calculations, we reveal that the intrinsic mechanism due to the Berry curvature dominates the anomalous Hall effect under high pressure.
